I get the tax code is a series of incentives or penalties depending on how one structures their financial house.Now if I own a business and invest in real estate, how can I effectively pay zero in taxes?

The PV company advocates for wiring all the PV panels in series and then letting any excess electricity from the panels balance equally through all three meters - that's technically the most cost effective for the whole property, but would mean I need to install a bunch of extra hardware to measure actual electricity usage. 

Hey @Wilson Lee,When you start dealing with both buy-and-holds as well as flips, I tend to work with the Series LLC.

The LLC, when properly formed, will compartmentalize the risk between Sibling #1 and you.Option 2: Series LLC (preferred) This situation would depend on your own portfolio, but you can also form a Series LLC.

Each of these entities accomplishes completely different goals.While I do utilize the C-Corp for its tax implications, I generally use the Series LLC for most of my investments.

This is a well qualified tenant who I waived the pet fee and application fee to have move in.After the walk through and after signing the lease agreement and being given the deposit, the tenant has asked for a series of small repairs.

@Ron AlexanderUltimate asset protection, have a SERIES LLC, with each property in a separate series.

I'd like to explore the use of options in a series of blog & discussion posts and would appreciate connecting with anyone that has had experience with real estate purchase options (note: these are not lease-purchase options for renters).Thanks!

It is the combination of the Land Trust and the Series LLC.

@Tyler Altomare The series of books by Don Campbell are Canadian Specific and are really good at laying out his system for REI known as the ACRE system.
